Did work yesterday and didn't wash until this evening.  My hair didn't seem to absorb much of the oil.  I did a W(ACV)C with the TJ stuff and Suave green apple, and my hair feels light, soft and shiny.

And it's wavy.  Huh

I didn't braid it or anything after my shower, I only let it dry naturally, and it's full of these large waves.  WTF?  I've been noticing, when I do an updo or even just a braid, there's this little bit of hair that hangs down from my neck, and it's a curl.  An actual real round curl.  I just don't understand.  I showed it to my mom, and she nodded.  "You've always had little curls at your nape," she says to me.  And then she described to me that when I was "Mrs. Beasley" (a reference to the glasses I wore when I was only two) I had a perfect ring of curls around my head.  At which I had to roll my eyes.  No one has the same hair when they're an adult as they did when they were two!  But for something that's "always" been there, I'm sure only just now noticing it.

Beggin' to differ, ma'am. *touches brim of hat* My hair's been the same since before I turned 1. Only difference has been the way I took care of it over the years. Roll Eyes

That's pretty amazing.  Practically every child I've seen grow from infancy has had a phase where they had a few curls.  My daughter went through that phase when she was quite young, come to think of it.

I'm in an ignore-my-hair mode.  I comb and french braid it in the morning and then forget about it.  This is a good thing, I think.  The less effort it is to deal with the better.  Of course, the most time I ever had to spend on my hair to make it look good was when it was short.  I hated having to style my pixie cut; I could never get it to look just right.

Yep, I'm a fan of the "less is more" way of life and that includes hair care...when possible.   Wink

WC yesterday because I forgot the first C.  Used TJ shampoo + Beautiful Lenghts conditioner.  I like it better than the restoratives.

Today I did a CO because yesterday I put my hair up in a scrunchie when it was still damp and ended up with a crease in my hair from it; and I didn't want to do only a WO to get it out.  My hair is almost dry.  I should go take a look at it.  I've a party this evening and I'd like to go to it with my hair down.

My hair was meh for the party.  I let it down.  My sisters in law (yes it was a family party) both have long dark hair, the one fine and shiny, the other layered and processed.  I'm jealous of their thickness, though!  Both of them have thicker hair than me.

CWC, tj shampoo with BL conditioner.  Probably do an ACV next time.

It's interresting how long I can go now without a wash.  I think it was five days this time.  Maybe the grease problem I was having was from the restoratives conditioner.

I did a WO because I was feeling greasy.  Dunno how much it helped, but psychologically it made me feel cleaner.

I'm going to disneyland on sunday!  It's an 8 hour drive, so we're leaving early sun morn and staying til Wed.  Whee!  I guess that's it for now.

Actually, I'm going to Dland next sunday, not today.  Sorry I wasn't clear.  I'm excited, tho!  It's been almost two years, and before that, it was more like 20.  My MIl, KS, is taking me and DD.  Odub is not a fan of D-land, so he'll be staying home.  The last trip we took was all three of us, MIL, her DH, and all of the other children and stepchildren and their kids.  We had eleven people in two cars and then four hotelrooms.  It was late may and the park was packed.  It was exhausting.  This trip should be much more mellow.

12 p.  It's been stormy around here lately, wind and gusty rain.  Now, I'm not fond of dreary cold wet weather, where the sky is always gray and the light rain comes straight down day after day.  I do, however, like a gusty stormy day.  It's so exciting, the different colors and densities of cloud, the bright and dark patches in the sky, the occaisional burst of sun, the morning and evening rainbows.

8:30 p.  I just wanted to add that today was a no wash day, and Friday I did a WO and bunned my hair for work.  I'll probably wash again tomorrow.  I did a sort of a french twist thing, but let the ends fly.  It was cute, but I had to do it backwards of the way that feels natrual in order to hide my thinning streak.

I woke up at 4 am this morning to stare at the dark cieling in my bedroom.  Odub had managed to steal the bottom sheet out from under me.  WTF?  So anyway, I just got up and started my day.  I do like to write early in the morning.  Then Odub got up and joined me in the office, so I quit writing and loaded up a video game and played til he went to work, got DD ready for school.  Then I tried to write more, but found myself falling asleep in front of the comp, so I figured, ok, I'll nap for an hour.

Two hours later, I'm groggy and grumpy.  This happens whenever I lay down abed to nap.  Not so much if I nap sitting in a chair.  That's what I should have done.

I haven't washed my hair yet, but I will and update.

I forgot to update.  I'm going to give my hair a few days, then I'll do an oil and probably an ACV.  It feels a little dry, and the ends are...IDK.  Not crunchy, but they feel heavy, like I didn't wash my conditioner out enough.

Here's a pic of my curl:

...

Also, there's a strip just behind my right ear that is wavy.  It looks wavier when I put my hair half-up.  I have a picture of myself in my junior year in high school where I have BSL hair my natural color and it's a little wavy, especially on the right side.  I got a home perm that year, but my hair all broke off afterward, so that pic must have been taken before that, and it might actually be my natural wavyness.

In Fia's hair typing system, 1a has no body, and my hair is really quite flat.  1b has a body wave, isn't really wavy.  What does that mean? 1c has one or two S waves in places; well, that's sort of what I have, but not much body.  So what's my type?  And why am I tripping about it?  My hair is my hair.  It has idiosyncrasies and defies typing, just like the rest of me, just like all of us.  Halelujah!

9 am update.  I've found a use for the rest of my sulfate shampoo!  Cheesy  There's a story that goes with it, acually.  When I first moved into my apartment, it was just before valentine's day, and it was pretty rainy.  When the sun started coming out again, these big ants started crawling around in the shower upstairs!  Now I've had it with ants, because in my mom's old place they were a constant problem, even though they were tiny.  The ants in my bathroom were huge, half an inch long plus.  Whenever I'd see one I'd smash it, and that was okay for a while, until aparantly mating season, when they were flying en masse about my bathroom.  Unacceptable.  I called the landlord.  It turned out that there was a whole colony of carpenter ants living in a rotted fencepost in the backyard.  They replaced the fencepost and the problem stopped.  I'd still see one or two now and then, usually when the sun came out after a big rain, but I could deal with that as long as I wasn't mobbed by a flying cloud of them.

So, btw, I hate smashing ants, the crunch bothers me.  I guess I'm sort of squeamish.  So when I saw an ant in the bathroom yesterday, I grabbed the first thing I could reach, which was my spray bottle of diluted sulfate shampoo.  I sprayed the heck out of it, and it died.  Hooray!  Now I'll just keep that stuff around to kill the ants in my shower.

Looks like you do indeed have a natural wave.

And it sounds like your property needs some serious pest control. Tongue

Yeah, this is the first time I've seen the ants since they replaced the fencepost.  Maybe they just moved over to another one!
